Auto-typing on Catalina

January 8, 2020

Apple’s superb mac OS Catalina (10.15) has a few extra security features. Before you can auto-type your username and password in to any application on Catalina, you’ll have to grant permissions to allow PasswordWallet to auto-type.

To do this:

1. The first time you auto-type, you’ll be presented with the following prompt. Click “Open System Preferences“.

2. Within system preferences, select “Security and Privacy” and be sure to allow PasswordWallet to access “Accessibility” Settings per below: (If PasswordWallet is already present, remove it with the “-” button and re-add it with the “+” button. Be sure you’re adding the right PasswordWallet in case you have two of them installed.)

3. Once done, PasswordWallet will be able to auto-type on Catalina! If it doesn’t work, remove PasswordWallet from the list, restart your computer, and then re-add PasswordWallet per above.
